To be honest, I do not know much about St. James products. I have not had any luck finding them and have not had the opportunity to use them in a mai tai. I have tasted them neat, and thought they were very good, but never had any drinks mixed with them.

There are some cheaper martinique rums than the St. James. They are probably not as nice as the St James when neat, but we are talking about mixing here. Lately I have been using a rum called Kaniche combined with a demerara, and have been really happy with the combo, expecially since the Kaniche is $13 a bottle here in NYC. The only problem is that it seems to be hard to find.
